Two former Senate Presidents and senior leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Senators Adolphus Wabara and Bukola Saraki, have openly disagreed over the party’s national convention slated to begin tomorrow in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Wabara, who serves as chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), insisted the convention must proceed as planned, accusing unnamed forces of attempting to “kill the PDP” by creating setbacks for the exercise.
However, Saraki, a former governor of Kwara State, argued that moving ahead with the convention despite ongoing legal disputes would deepen the crisis currently facing the party.
In a statement signed by Dr. Saraki after a meeting with members of the BoT Reconciliation Team led by Ambassador Hassan Adamu (Wakili Adamawa), he urged the party to establish a Caretaker Committee to temporarily steer its affairs and help restore stability.
